Never been a problem for me. Center is a majority black and white demographic. Vast majority of Hispanic students speak English. Where do you get your information?

Final West Sabine 33 Corrigan 47 Hemphill 28 Chireno 65

Welcome to Carthage’s district.

Center is full of Mexicans. Not saying that is a bad thing. They still speak a lot of Mexican spanish.

I'm not surprised by this. 2 storied programs. [Hidden Content]

Final San Augustine 61 Colmesneil 42

Most PG's don't take over 60% of the shots. That's what I meant by "going thru". My and Mamba's point is when they face good teams who are able to control #21, then Tarkington is pretty much dead in the water and no one should be surprised when they lose games to good teams. Maybe I wasn't all that wrong when picking what teams were going to make the playoffs out of this district.😉 We will see.

Alvarez is a proven winner at multiple stops....this is a great hire....absolute ball coach

Why?

He needs to learn spanish.

Interested in the games you’ve seen? He’s the PG, what position does the ball normally go through in your offense?

Actually 33 did not get the tech. #2 got the tech for saying “good call” to the ref while the bigger kid from HF screamed “what the ****” to the ref right in front the stands with his arms out, and nothing. We can agree to disagree on the reffing, nobody ever agrees on the calls. But here’s what I’ll say more games than not, just like last night. Nobody can stay in front of #21 without grabbing and shoving and last night was another example of that. If you like we can review as much game footage as you like. Before every in bounds #2 would have his arms completely wrapped around his waste right in front of the ref. As far as your and AAWs assessment, you should both probably watch more games to fully make that determination. The only way his teammates “want” to be involved in the offense is if he drives and kicks to them. Otherwise nobody else wants to handle the ball. So does the ball go through him a lot, 100% and for the most part his teammates appreciate it. You should see the ball handling when he comes out. Regarding shooting, he’s a 35/50/87% (3/2/ft) shooter, the rest of the team is about 20/40/55% soooo with both of your expert who should take more shots and handle the ball then?

Interesting…

If that is Bay Area they are the absolute worst. I’ve seen some crazy stuff watching games officiated by those guys.

I have to agree with this assessment. From the few games I have seen Tarkington play, it has been all about #21. Each and every possession goes thru him 85-90% of the time. Got to get more players involved.

Yep.

I was at the game — #21 was clearly their best player, but he was also the reason they struggled. He took almost every shot and never looked to involve his teammates. You can’t win big when one guy dominates the ball for 32 minutes. I get the point about inexperience, but that’s not really what I saw. Plenty of teams start new varsity players and still function because the ball moves, guys touch it, and everyone stays engaged. When one player takes every shot, the rest of the team naturally checks out — that’s not a ‘cast’ problem, that’s a style‑of‑play problem. Confidence comes from involvement. If teammates never get real opportunities, of course they’ll look shaky. As for the officiating, it was fine. I’m not sure what fouls people expected, but it was pretty even on both sides. Tarkington’s #33 was warned multiple times for talking and eventually got hit with a tech. That’s on him, not the refs.

PA Memorial should have wom this game !!!
